CHEAP ELECTRIC TRUCK / SLATE AUTO'S CUSTOMIZABLE EV PICKUP & SUV!

EV Channels Review

Slate Auto has unveiled a highly customizable and affordable electric pickup truck, starting at $25,000 (or under $20,000 after incentives). The base model offers 150 miles of range with a 52.7 kWh battery, with an extended range option providing 240 miles from an 84.3 kWh battery. A key selling point is its modularity, allowing it to be transformed into an SUV or other configurations using accessory kits, with a notable $500 wrap kit that can be applied in about an hour. The interior is intentionally basic, featuring manual crank windows and a phone mount as standard, with options for a tablet. While praised for its affordability and customization potential, the vehicle is noted as being very pre-production, with some rudimentary interior elements and a lack of advanced technology features. The company emphasizes its "back to basics" approach, focusing on affordability, reliability, and user customization over complex infotainment systems. The truck is slated for production in Q4 2026.
